Hi-Tech Jewelry

The Orb Goes From a Ring on Your Finger to a Phone Call Receiver

A collaboration between Hybra Advance Technologies and AbsolutelyNew Inc. has brought us the Orb bluetooth headset. This fantastic design for a headset combines a touch of beautiful jewelry and intense compact technology.

It starts off as a full-circled ring (looks as though it can be worn, depending on its actual size) and can be opened up to comfortably fit around your ear.

It’s ultimate haute hands-free calling!

iPhone Car Starters

The Viper SmartStart Lets You Go Keyless for $500

The iPhone is steadily becoming like a universal remote, what with applications like this Viper SmartStart system that allows users to unlock and start their cars sans keys.

For $500, which is the price of the Viper SmartStart receiver (the actuall app is free on iTunes), the system will unlock, start, set the alarm, and unlock the trunk of your car. It will also allow you to find a misplaced vehicle via a ‘panic’ button. Basically, it’s like any old remote car starter, except it will be part of your iPhone. You have the option, however, to manage more than one car with it as well as assign more than one user to the car.
